Considerations for using the data
- Very small at v1 (10 entries). Expansion to 50+ planned for v2 (Aug 2026 snapshot).
- Definitions reflect US OSHA terminology primarily. UK HSE / EU equivalents noted where they differ.
- Each term links to a longer explainer at canonical_url; the dataset is intentionally a quick-reference layer, not a textbook.
